Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGBHBIJ KLMBBNOPBQBBBQQRNSTU| Riding on Rosinante where the cars | A |
| With dismal unremitting clangors pass | B |
| And people move like curbless energumens | B |
| Rowelled by fiends of fury back and forth | C |
| Behold Quixote comes in battered mail | D |
| Armgaunt with eyes of some keen haggard hawk | E |
| Far from his eyrie Gazing right and left | F |
| Over his face a lightning of disdain | G |
| Flushes and limns the hollowness of cheeks | B |
| Bronzed by the suns of battle and his hand | H |
| Tightens beneath its gauntlet on the lance | B |
| As if some foe had challenged him or sight | I |
| Of unredressed wrong provoked his ire | J |
| - | |
| Brave spectre what chimera shares thy saddle | K |
| Pointing thee to this place Thy tale is told | L |
| The high proud legend of all causes lost | M |
| A quenchless torch emblazoning black ages | B |
| Go hence deluded paladin there is | B |
| No honor here nor glory to be won | N |
| Knight of La Mancha turn thee to the past | O |
| Amid its purple marches ride for aye | P |
| Nor tilt with thunder driven iron mills | B |
| That shall grind on to silence Chivalry | Q |
| Has flown to stars unsooted by the fumes | B |
| That have befouled these heavens and romance | B |
| Departing will unfurl her oriflammes | B |
| On towers unbuilded in an age to be | Q |
| Waste not thy knightliness in wars unworthy | Q |
| For time and his alastors shall destroy | R |
| Full soon and bring to stuffless cloudy ruin | N |
| All things that fret thy spirit riding down | S |
| This pass with pandemonian walls this Hinnom | T |
| Where Moloch and where Mammon herd the doomed | U |
